Happy days!

I have been saving this paper up as I couldn’t find anything that was a suitable match for the inside cover paper. I found this plainish red striped paper hiding in amongst the huge pile of paper I have accumulated, when I had to move it. I needed my kitchen table back so it had to be moved up to the spare bedroom and now lies all over the spare bed. I really must buy a plan chest so I can keep it all tidy and safe. I check out eBay regularly but the only ones I have seen are at the other end of the country and need to be collected. I am still hoping my local auction house or antiques shop will have one.

My birthday is over. Thank you so much for all the birthday wishes. It was a really nice feeling to have so many good wishes winging their way to me from around the globe. I had a lovely day with my sons. They took me out to dinner and we managed to find a restaurant that Number One son who is vegan, could eat in! Number two son has now gone back to uni but Number One son is still around. I managed to take a photo of us together – the first for ages. We used the timer on the camera so the poses are not ideal but it did make us laugh trying to get into position in time!

I can’t believe my little boys are so grown up. These are a couple of old photographs I scanned recently just so you can see how cute they were as children . Not that they aren’t cute now I hasten to add – but they are cute in a different way now!

oh they’re handsome boys…or rather young men…..I should say…. :)
they grow up so fast…especially when you look back at photos like the last one…..they are certainly cuties….and you don’t look any older Diane!!!
what’s your secret????

the book is a real wonderland of colour and I love the contrast with the stripes inside…..nice touch with the yellow bows too :)

Wonderful pictures, they just grow up so fast don’t they? i did a post on one of Santa’sblogs about Christmas Past and found a photo of my daughter sat on Santa’s knee when she was 3, now she’s almost 15….the years just melt away :)

I love the book cover, it is so cheerful and bright and looks absolutely amazing.

Anna – I think my boys are very handsome too – but then I would wouldn’t I? I think they take after me!!!!! Ha!

I adore that fishing photo too. I’ve had it enlarged and framed. There is something about my youngest’s little bony shoulder blades that I find so cute! And Number One son was being the expert and showing little brother how it was all done….

DM – you are so kind! It must be the mirror in the attic a la Dorian Gray! After yet another birthday, I certainly feel old enough! I am now going to start counting backwards and getting younger each birthday, I think….
